Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 6GB Review: Quiet Release, Dodgy Name
The GeForce RTX 3050 6GB is an interesting new release from Nvidia targeting the sub-$200 market. Now, the interesting part is not so much for its performance as it is for other angles.

Not much has changed in the gaming GPU market as of late, so this month we're looking at current prices and discussing the best graphics cards you can buy.
In this GPU analysis, we look back across the last 4 generations of graphics cards to illustrate exactly why this generation has underperformed – and by how much – showing what each GPU should have cost.
A lot has been said about 8GB GPUs over the past year, in part thanks to our own testing. In comparing 4GB vs 8GB VRAM we hope to get a glimpse into the future dynamics between 8GB and 16GB configurations.
For the return of our monthly GPU pricing updates, we took a short break to review the newcomers and see where everything settled. We're in store for a bumper episode as there's much to discuss.
Having reviewed the Nvidia RTX 4090 Laptop GPU and taken a comprehensive look at how it fares in the laptop market, let's see how it compares against the similarly-named but much more powerful RTX 4090 desktop part.
One would assume that Nvidia's "new" GeForce RTX 4080 Super is a special version of the original. But in reality, it's essentially the RTX 4080 with a much-needed price cut. Is that enough?
The new Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super is super bizarrely named, but the specs look seriously great. We're talking 16GB of VRAM using AD103 silicon, indicating strong performance potential. But does it deliver?
Nvidia's GeForce RTX 4070 Super is the first refreshed 'Super' GPU to be released. Based on specs, it should be ~20% faster than the 4070, at the same price, which sounds like a solid deal.
Usually we recommend PC gamers on a budget to adopt the min/max strategy. This means spending as little as possible on almost everything, except the GPU, where most of the budget should be allocated.
An updated look at current-gen GPU flagships, the battle between the Radeon 7900 XTX and GeForce RTX 4090. Of course, the GeForce is faster, but also costs twice as much, so is the premium worth it?
Welcome to our last GPU pricing update of the year. We'll discuss upcoming GPUs, price trends for the last 12 months, and recommendations about buying a graphics card now or if it's better to wait.
#TBT Every few years it seems like there's an amazing new technology with the promise of making games look ever more realistic. We've had shaders, tessellation, shadow mapping, ray tracing – and now there's path tracing.
For this month's GPU pricing update, we have Nvidia's upcoming GeForce 40 Super rumors, current-gen GPU pricing, and what sort of deals you should be looking out for during Black Friday.
